Trivia:

• This is the final Kirby game that Chao appears in. Fittingly enough, she reappears with her good pal Goku (no, not that Goku. Although, they both share the same inspiration soooo...)
• According to the game's entry in the Kirby's History section of Kirby's Dream Collection Special Edition, Kirby's Dream Land 3 was "the last [game] that Nintendo published in the USA for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System." Because of its late release date, one year after the launch of the Nintendo 64, it did not see a European or Australian release until the Virtual Console reissue in 2009. These factors also contributed to the game becoming the lowest-selling title in the main Kirby series, being the only entry to sell less than one million units. The game itself pokes fun at its late release in the Japanese version, where Boss Butch features a "Nintendo 16" logo (referring to the 16-bit hardware of the SNES, compared to the 64-bit hardware of the N64).
• Once Kirby uses the Heart Stars to pacify a boss (that is, using the Heart Stars to cleanse the area of Dark Matter's influence), the boss cannot be fought again; instead, a Warp Star will appear in the room waiting to take the player out of the level while the boss peacefully toys around.
• Characters from the Yūyūki, Shin Onigashima, Gyromite, and Metroid games make cameo appearances.
• Oddly enough, there are two versions of the good ending:
1. The first one, as shown in the following video, shows Adeleine's portraits being sketched out and cartoonish. The last two pictures (before a sketch of Popstar) are of the allies' comrades, and the other Heart Star characters. Adeleine's mouth is closed in the first frame, her eyes are closed in the second, and in the same frame, she's drawing a circle. Gooey's portrait is similar to his in-game render, and is of his standard form. Kirby's portrait is exactly like his gameplay sprite. Also, Adeleine's self-portrait is drawn in a stylized form typical of manga & anime.
2. The other one, which plays at the end of Boss Butch, shows the portraits being more realistic, with blends of sketches and watercolor. The third to last drawing is of Dark Matter, and the next is of ****. Adeleine's mouth is open in the first frame, her eyes are open in the second, and in the same frame, she's drawing an X. Gooey's portrait is less like himself, and has a brighter coloration scheme (the portrait is of his flying form. In the drawing, he is given a snake-like appearance). Kirby's portrait is merely an outline. Also, Adeleine's self-portrait is drawn in a more simplistic, sketchier style.
• In the Japanese version of Kirby's Dream Land 3, Boss Butch's title screen has the phrase "NINTENDO 16" written across the top. This is a Nintendo 64 reference applied to the Super Famicom, as the Super Famicom is a 16-bit console.
• The Heart Star goals in each world actually follow a pattern: The first level has Kirby assisting flowers (a mushroom in Sand Canyon); the second level requires that Kirby using a certain ability, sometimes with the aid of an Animal Friend; the third level has Kirby play a sub-game; the fourth level tasks Kirby with fetching something or someone to collect; the fifth level needs Kirby to take a specific, non-Coo Animal Friend to the end of the stage; the sixth level has Kirby collecting multiple objects in the odd-numbered worlds and carving Star Block structures in the even-numbered worlds.
• This would be the first Kirby game in which the characters and environment are designed to look like a specific crafts material (crayons and pastels in this case), the others would be Kirby: Canvas Curse (paint), Kirby's Epic Yarn (yarn), and Kirby and the Rainbow Curse (clay).
• This game is Adeleine's first Kirby appearance!!! She's so cool!!!
• Kirby's Dream Land 3 is the only main-series Kirby game to feature the Parasol ability without a corresponding parasol entity held by enemies
• The North American and Japanese ROM images for the game are nearly identical, with a difference of only 41 bytes. Both versions of the game include the data for both English and Japanese languages; the regional differences are loaded based on a single byte. A North American English copy of the game can be made to run in Japanese by changing the region byte, and vice versa.
• Kirby's Dream Land 3 is the last of various things.
1. It is the last Kirby game in North America to be released in the 1990s.
2. It is the last entry in the Kirby's Dream Land trilogy.
3. It is the last Kirby game to depict Kirby with "whiskers" as all later installments depicted him with cheek blushes.
4. It is the last Kirby game to feature all six animal friends having main roles.
• No, ChuChu is not Female Blob. She is a female OCTOPUS though.

Bonus! Race against Kirby and Gooey while playing as Rick. To do this, you need to summon Gooey, combine the cutter ability with Rick, run to the beginning of the room until you can't move anymore, throw Kirby, face the other way, and RUN!
